TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor
The TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor software program monitors computer system 
functions such as power consumption, the cooling system and HDD/SSD Alert. 
It alerts users of specific system conditions via pop-up messages. It also tracks 
the usage of the computer and related devices, logging the service relevant 
information on the computer’s hard disk drive.
n
The collected information includes device operation time and number of 
actuations or status changes (i.e.: number of power button and Fn key 
combination uses, AC adaptor, battery, LCD, fan, HDD, sound volume, 
wireless communication switch, TOSHIBA Express Port Replicator and USB 
information), date of initial system use, and also computer and device usage 
(i.e.: power settings, battery temperature and recharging, CPU, memory, 
backlight illumination time, and temperatures for various devices), property 
(e.g., product name, model number, part number, serial number, BIOS 
version, FW version) of the system and components (e.g., Video device, 
Sound device, Network device, Hard Disk drive, Solid State drive, Optical Disc 
drive), operating system and software information (e.g., OS version, OS install 
date, Direct X version, Internet Explorer version, installed update program and 
driver lists). The stored data uses a very small portion of the total hard disk 
capacity, approximately 10MB or less per year.

This information is used to identify and provide a notification of system 
conditions which may effect the performance of your Toshiba computer. It may 
also be used to help diagnose problems should the computer require service 
by Toshiba or Toshiba’s authorized service providers. Additionally, Toshiba 
may also use this information for quality assurance analysis. Subject to the 
use restrictions above, the HDD data logged may be transferred to entities 
located outside of your country or region of residence (e.g., European Union). 
Those countries may or may not have the same data protection laws or data 
protection levels as required by your home country or region.
n
Once enabled, you may disable the TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor at any time 
by uninstalling the software via Uninstall a program in the Control Panel. 
Doing so will automatically delete all collected information from the HDD.

The TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor software does not extend or modify 
Toshiba’s obligations under its standard limited warranty in any way. Toshiba’s 
standard limited warranty terms and limitations apply.
